Title: When an insert tape became a FRIDGE
Synopsis: An Insert Tape was required by BBC Bristol to be sent from TV Centre. A
request was made the day before it was needed. The mail room at TV Centre wrote out
the delivery note for the courier. For safe keeping, as the tape had not arrived from
the RP Library, the mail room attached the delivery note temporally to the office
fridge. The person in the mail room went for lunch with the intention of attaching the
Insert Tape Delivery note to the Insert Tape when they returned from lunch. When
they returned from lunch the Fridge had disappeared!!!! Donated by Tony Nuttall:
Former employee of the BBC, Borders TV, BAe and currently proprietor of Cumbria
Clock Restoration.

Biography: French underground artist, I fell in love with music at an early age by
discovering my brother’s drum kit. After experiencing many instruments (trumpet,
bugle, cavalry trumpet, guitar, bass guitar…) and playing in several bands, I decided
to find and craft my own sound. Through years, I expanded the concept of ‘instrument’
to the whole physical world, and began to use all kinds of noise sources (animals,
people, objects…) to create songs.

3: Mark Vernon
Title: Audiology for beginners – a self assessment radio hearing test
Synopsis: Audiology for beginners plays with the idea (and the impracticalities) of
delivering a hearing test over the airwaves. The typical sounds of the hearing test –
sine tones at specific frequencies and white noise used to mask voices, becomes source
material for a radio piece that is part radiophonic composition and part genuine
attempt at a workable over the air hearing exam. Audiology for Beginners was
completed during a residency at the Wave Farm study centre in Acra, NY and was first
broadcast on WGXC 90.7 FM in the Greene and Columbia Counties of New York State
in 2014.
Biography: Mark Vernon is a sound artist and radio producer whose
radiophonic creations range from documentaries and radio plays
toexperimental audio collage and soundscape pieces. He has produced

artworks created in a very short amount of time to explore spontaneous

accidents. It is an ode to wilderness and its raw energy.

an outgrown identity, having the courage to embrace change, the future.

10: Tian Miller
Title: While we get ready for bed
Duration: 6 minutes 43 (excerpt)
Synopsis: This recording is taken from a Norwegian children’s TV program that was
produced in 1978 called “Mens vi går og legger oss”. It used to be one of my favourite
programs at that time. It’s about a person who has a cuddly toy, a hippopotamus
named Flode and is getting prepared for bed. The program points out the importance
of looking after your teeth while creating a comfort around children’s bedtime. The
song he’s singing while he is brushing Flode’s teeth is suppose to make it more
enjoyable and in the end you’ll get a kiss every time you brush them.
Biography: Tian Miller is an artist based in Norway. Her work has more
recently involved the use of sound as a medium.

11: Neil Simpson
Title: There Their (Live Performance)
Synopsis: The main ideas in the piece relate to performance and performativity.
Music performances usually involve a lot of light and a lot of moving around. This
piece involves almost no light and no moving around. However, thanks to the pose I
adopt, it is still clearly a performance, albeit one which could be said to be redacted
and damaged (the use of TCP is intended to heighten this sense of damage through its
strong association with minor injuries). I am hopeful that this piece would help people
reflect on the extent to which any musical performance is redacted and demonstrates
a damaged, constrained version of a person. I am also hopeful that this could extend
into a consideration of the extent to which we self-censor our actions and thoughts in
relation to received ideas of ourselves and others.
Duration: 8 minutes approx
Biography: Neil’s practice is very varied, and is deliberately difficult to summarise.
It currently includes an interest in embodiment and performativity. In particular, he
is interested in the extent to which bodies and objects are humanised, and
dehumanised, through performance. Previously, his work has involved music,
audience-based and site-specific performances, in addition to sound art installations,
film soundtracks, documentary film-making, writing, poetry, and visual art
